Angelina Jolie Doesn't Mind If Brad Pitt Helps Out Jennifer Aniston
AUG 28, 2008 AT 12:00 PM
Maybe there is something to those late night phone call rumors from Jennifer Aniston to Brad Pitt. New reports have come out saying that she did call him after her breakup with John Mayer...and for the first time that Angelina Jolie wasn't upset about it.
Jolie had no problem with
the late night phone call and she reportedly told Brad that she hoped
that he was able to help out Jennifer as she worked through the John
Mayer break up.
Question for the readers...if you are dating someone right now, is that person still in contact with his/her ex and if so, does it bother you?

I am still in contact with my ex. I talk to him everyday. We were together for 7 years and really great friends. I have also become friends with his current girlfriend. It's a weird situation but I'd rather have him as a friend than nothing at all.
My husband is also in contact with his ex, but they do share a child. However, they talk and chat sometimes.
We have complete trust in each other and are open about our friendships with our ex's. I think that makes a huge difference. It's not a secret.
If Brad and Angelina are truly in love and respect each other, then I would believe that Angelina has no problem with Brad helping out Jennifer, someone he has known for years and probably still has a love as a friend for.

DEPENDS ON THE SITUATION. IF THEY WERE MARRIED THEN OK I UNDERSTAND. DATING MAYBE
Could we please stop posting about this triangle. This is all tabloid stuff that is made up. Really do you guys believe this? I am so tired of hearing about these three people. Give it a rest. And if you are going to post this why not post about the In Touch story about how Angelina is so upset that Brad may meet Jennifer at the Toronto Film Festival. Honestly I don't think that this site should use tabloid stuff.
Amen, Vera what is wrong, can't find any stories? Do you just want to include these people so people come here more? We all know this is fake! There's no way that anyone would know about this. It's just some writer out there that wishes that this situation happened and wrote about it, that's all. Put sources, if you think its real.
You know the story is come up again by the same tabolids isn't it? please you people need to let this die. They all are living the life at they wanted it. Why can't you let them? Why she won't call Vince? Paul and what is his name I forgot and the cameara guy? they all are friends to her right? Especially Vince why Brad? It is like this because it sells magazine. Please real journalists move on. And let them all live in peace.
To be honest I have no problem with my boyfriend talking with his exes. If anything, I trust him more with them then other women. Sure they shared something at one time, but obviously it didn't work out.
My husband is still friends with all of his ex girlfriends, and even works with one of them. I have to admit that i HATE IT when they spend time together/talk/text/etc.
But I do wish that tabloids would stop this whole Jen/Brad/Angelina thing. They're divorced, they've moved on, get over it.

No, my boyfriend isn't in contact with any of his exes, and I'm not in contact with any of mine. I know some people can remain in contact with their former flames, but as my sister says, "Why sleep in your own vomit?"

My boyfriend owns a home with his ex - ugh. It's not "that" bad though as I own my home as well and she moved out right before we started dating (well, a little overlappage, but oh well). They have very little contact w/ each other and I am very confident in our relationship :-)

Depends. I know my soon-to-be-ex former wife, and I like her. We're not friends, but we respect each other. As for ex-dates that land around here trying to get something back - I hate them & that's why we'll be breaking up. I just think there are limits. Late night phone calls are innapropriate (for me, at least).
I'm not in contact with any of my X's, but my hunney is with his and I don't mind I've met them all. He doesn't keep secrets from me he loves to comunicate more than I do. Sometimes I think he's more the female I always roll over and go to sleep after sex and he likes to talk and cuddle lol.

ooooooooh. yes my boyfriend is the sweetest, most darling person, and a good friend, and he does still talk to most of his exes. we actually hang out with one of them on a regular basis, i trust him and i know that they are exes for a reason. and i also know that we have so much together that he would never risk messing that up. trust your man!!!
What does "why sleep in your own vomit" even mean?? Please enlighten us.
Who makes this crap up? And why?
my boyfriend speaks to ALL of his exes. i had moments of insecurity, but in the end i'm happier knowing that he's able to be on good terms with people that at one time were his closest companion.
they aren't anymore. and i am. neener neener.

One of my ex's grew up four houses down from me. He was my frist kiss, and yadda yadda yadda. We'd been on and off for years, and then I met my Hubby & broke it all off with him. We still talk, but they're actually friends. He's more like a brother to me now than anything, because I've known him my whole life. And Hubby has a car budy!

No I am not in contact with my ex's and my current guy doesnt understand why anyone would want to. I have to agree with him in a way. ie You arent good enough to want to stay together but you are ok to go for a drink with? Nope. If its over move on if there are no kids involved.

It only bothers if you don't feel safe in your relationship.
why in teh f would she call him? like he has any good dating advice? hell he cheapted on her with that vile skank trangelina!
I don't think this kind of phone calls ever happend or will happen this is the media who give us the usual dayjavous. (I hope I spelled it right) since we heard this kind of things many times before. anyways, Brad has stable relationship than Jennifer has I am talking about both past and present realationships.
I think he is in the status he can give advise for relationship. It has been 4 years since they got together with Anige and with this all pressure and still going strong is great. Whether you hate it or love it.
ya he must be an expert! expert on cheating on a spouse. now he is p whipped! you sound really disillusional!
angelina jolie is exactly like joan crawford! i bet she makes her children call her mommy dearest!
i have never stayed in contact with exes. wtf is the point? for real!

i dont think its true. if it is though aniston doesnt have any business to be calling brad other than to stir up trouble...c'mon would she really cry on brad's shoulder?? i am sure if anything she is keeping up the appearance that she is happy, like he is. she is probably making courtney cox's ears bleed with her relationship woes, but i dont think she is calling brad.
its not like they have kids together or anything. i am not a fan keeping up a friendship with exes...it has to be very special circumstances & neither me or my husband have any which pleases us both.

I don't really believe this. Why would she call Brad? Its not like they have remained friends. I doubt Brad has the time to counsel anyone on such drivel with 6 kids. Dosen't she have a pillow she can cry into? Anyway, Neither me nor my hubby have kept in contact with our exes. Between the 2 of us there are not that many since we were very young when we got married. A friend of mine however reminds me of Bruce/Demi/ Ashton. Her current husband and her ex husband are drinking buddies.

I think until there's a reason not to trust, keep the trust. But it normally subsides as your relationship blossoms.
But each relationship is different.
Jen needs to get some more friends. Then she wouldn't rely on Brad so much. Doesn't she have a brother? Sheez.

The only real reason to stay in contact with an ex is for the sake of any children involved. and for that reason it should be at least kept on a civil and "friendly" level.
I had a Diet Coke today. I'm mad at myself, because I haven't had one in a week. Guess what? It didn't even taste good.
Fine but don't let it happen again.
LOLOL!!!
Hey people! Why do you believe all shit about jen-Brad-Angie!!?????

I personally have a rule to loose all contact with all my ex's. My BF HAS to talk to his ex cause they have an 11 year old. But even he hates that. The mother is on heavy drugs, is homeless and has 2 other kids from 2 other guys. She is screwed up! I try not to get jealous considering I have nothing to worry about. It's hard when kids are invoved. I just have to bite my tongue!
First of all she was dating John Mayer since what? April? It wasn't a long term relationship. It was more of a summer fling. Jennifer has loads of friends (Courtney isn't her only friends btw) so why would she run to Brad? This story is absolutely crap! Will this Jen-Brad-Angie will ever end????? They sure like to paint Jennifer as the needy, insecure, whiny, desperate girl who can't let go of Brad.
Honestly! Can't the paps just let go of this ancient triangle? It's getting way too old for anyone to believe in anymore, if ever! Brad and Angie have six kids within a three year timeframe, and Brad stated at the Burn After Reading opening that there will be two more within a year, so why would any clear thinking woman want to be with a man like that? We all know Angie is different from normal women, but it's her way, and it has worked well for her, so if she chooses to have a tribe, it's her business. No way would Jen have been willing or even desirous of having six kids in three years with another two planned for the upcoming year. So it's all been win-win for all three concerned. Now....puleeze drop the BS of Jen + Brad + Angie...it's OVER
Not if your so much sexyier. And it deffinetly shows confidence in herself which makes her sexyier I think. It shows she's not the desperate jelous type, jelously can make it seem as though a person is insecure about themselves. And it's a lovely sign of trust to the other person.
Perhaps she has 3 children by him and is pretty sure he will not leave her for anybody else.
Contacts by exes should be looked at on case by case basis. If we have been together for long and we are a strong compassionate family I would not mind my boyfriend helping put his ex. In fact, just the other day he met her at a restaurant and they just had a polite casual conversation. Now, if we just started dating--then no.
I also think it is great to break up on friendly terms. If there is no love in a relationship--move on. Do not let it grow into cheating/deceipt.
Brad is dumb but he's not stupid. He knows the time will come when Angelina will move on to a new obsession. Then Brad will be begging for Jen to take him back or otherwise help him move on. It's just a matter of time. Women come and go but some bonds cannot be broken.

When it's over it's over. Move on and let them move on.
i would be friends with my boyfriend's exes if they weren't total trainwrecks and were over him:)
I doubt this is true. Who would know about late night phone calls between the two? I doubt she wants advice from the guy who cheated on her and left her for another woman. This triangle is certainly old... but how did Angelina come out of this looking great, and Jen as the washed up girl who can't get over it? Give her a break. At least she's not a whore like Angie.
yes and yes, it annoys the shit out of me. the skank cheated on him after 10 yrs and he's still obsessed!!!!!
I don't believe it for a minute. After what Brad did to her, if Jen even considered calling him for any reason, she's even crazier than what people already think. And Angelina may be weird...she may be a bisexual cutter who wore her ex-husband's blood in a vial around her neck...she may be unconventional...but there is not a woman alive in her situation who would allow phone calls like that from a desperate ex like Aniston. Angelina got her claws into Brad, and she's not going to let him go until she is good and ready. And as much as I can't stand Angie, she'd be right to say no to those phone calls. Brad is with her now, not Jen. He owes Jen nothing.
this ones kind of funny for me, my BF was having contact with his ex and i didn't care. then one day he was mentioning some old grudge regarding an ex of mine he doesn't like and i brought up that i don't even talk to mine but he talks to his. he was quiet for a moment and now refuses to talk to her if he can. guess he doesn't want me to talk to my exes and realized he was setting a bad example.
my hubby still speaks with one of his exes, but so do I, we are all friends.....I have no problem with it!
Oh no. I don't want to know Brad getting back to the old ugly horse chin.
This is a bs story but to answer your question, no. People should not and cannot be friends with their exs. You can be friendly, for example, not think of them with hatred or of course be polite when you see them. But this business of "we're such great friends, we talk everyday..." yeah right! One or both of the people is still hoping to rekindle things on some level. I am always quite suspicious when someone talks about how great friends they are with their ex-husband or boyfriend. Women especially think they are capable of this, but we're not!
